Fort Baker Most decorated African American Vernon Baker

Fort Barretto Most decorated veteran in Viet Nam Jorge Barretto

There are many more that also come to mind like Pat Tillman, US Grant, Milton Olive, David Hackworth, Cartagena, etc.

I support this, but only after investigating everything they ever said or did to ensure there was never a racist, sexist, or otherwise inflamatory statement made.
